JARA, Cristian Emanuel. The ecological dimension of peasant struggles: Disputes about land use planning linked with native forests in Santiago del Estero. Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.23, pp.389-405. ISSN 1514-6871.
This article contributes to the discussion about ecological peasant struggles beginning from a case study focused on the participation of peasant movement of Santiago del Estero (MOCASE) during the land use planning linked with native forests in 2008. Some transverse inquiries are the following: ¿which is the meaning of ecological dimension of the present peasant struggles? ¿what are the new and the old aspects? ¿Which are the traditions and the potentialities implied on ecological frames? We argue that the historic struggle for land, characteristic axis of the Old Agrarian Question (expressed in demands for regularization of land ownership, resistance to evictions and control of the production process), is joint to a struggle on land, for environmental justice, framed in the New Agrarian Question. Additionally, three dimensions of the ecological peasant’s requests are distinguished: ontologic, ethic and epistemic aspects. All of them are expressed in divergent interests, values and knowledge. Thus, struggles for land are part of a rural and urban fight, local and global fight, corporative and political fight.
